The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62

“I’ve taken the prescription to have it analyzed. If this prescription is true, I’ll let bygones be bygones.” As Justin’s voice fell, Rachel felt flustered.

Then, Justin glanced around the ward, where there were a few piles of fruits and flowers. “Someone came to see you?”

Rachel’s heart thudded, and she tried to suppress her anxiety. My friends came by.

Justin didn’t seem to think much about it as he replied, “Since you’re injured, stay in the hospital for two more days, and go back when you‘ve recuperated fully.”

No need. I can be discharged tomorrow.

“Tomorrow?” Justin looked at her gauze-covered foot and said firmly, “No.”

I still have to go back to work at the library.

“You don’t have to worry about that; your leave is already approved.”

At that, Rachel looked stunned, as Justin seemed to be different from his usual self today.

As they were talking, the sound of a door opening came from outside. “Justin, when did you arrive?”

The voice of Amber interrupted the conversation between the two people. As soon as Rachel heard her voice, her foot hurt reflexively.

Frowning, Justin questioned unhappily, “Why didn’t you knock on the door?”

Amber put out her tongue at him and smiled intimately at him. “I forgot. After all, I got too excited to hear that you’re here. You’ve been away for work for so long and didn’t even pick up the phone.”

Justin answered indifferently, “I was busy.”

“I understand; work is important.”

Amber stood in the doorway for a while, then suddenly looked at Rachel before warning her, “Rachel, you need to rest more since you are injured. Why are you still running around? Others in the hospital are talking about you.”

Rachel pursed her lips and did not say a word. No wonder Amber came so quickly.

“Is there something wrong?” Justin looked at Amber.

“Can’t I look for you even when nothing is wrong?” Amber instantly turned around and pulled out a chair to sit

“Actually, I’ve received Tina’s invitation yesterday. She’s going to be engaged at the end of this month. Justin, since you don’t have a female partner and I don’t have a male partner either, why don’t we go together?”

Hearing these words, Rachel looked upset, and she silently clenched her fists. She was very self aware, but it was too awful of Amber to say this in front of her.

Justin glanced at her and replied, “Let Julian accompany you.”

“Why?”

“I have a female partner, so I can’t accompany you.”

Amber’s face changed, and she said sharply, “How is that possible? Who is it? Why didn’t I know about this?”

A trace of impatience surfaced on Justin’s face. Looking at Amber, he said, “Don’t you remember the engagement party of my family? Is it hard to guess who my female partner is?”

“You mean..” Amber’s face stiffened, and she subconsciously looked at Rachel. Justin actually wants to bring Rachel to attend the party?

Rachel was also surprised as she looked at them in disbelief.

Gritting her teeth, Amber still said obstinately, “She’s injured. I don’t think she can go.”

Hearing that, Amber felt speechless. Seeing that Justin looked cold and unwilling to entertain her anymore, she suddenly thought of something and said to Rachel, “Did you tell Justin something? You got injured because you were careless and didn’t hold the cup properly. You can’t accuse me of that!”

“Was your injury caused by Amber?”

If you want, I can leave your family, and you can marry Amber.
